Amazon's
gaming related job postings are starting to bear exotic fruit having just nabbed Microsoft's Director of Game Platform Strategy,
Andre Vrignaud. Vrignaud started with Microsoft in 2002 as Director of Xbox Live Platform Strategy and more recently helped manage Microsoft's overall gaming platform strategy with a hand in figuring out how to roll out Xbox Live on Windows Phone 7. Obviously, this leads to speculation that Amazon is looking to expand
further into digital games as it's already done with music, video, and digital books. And with Amazon working on
non-Kindle hardware with ambitions for
dual-screen readers, well, we'd say the question isn't what, but when?
